Think about it...have you ever tried paying for something from Amazon, iTunes, or Google Play with a check? Good luck with that. The large majority of online companies these days won't accept any form of check. We're no different. I'm surprised they would ask for name and address just to purchase a visa gift card...here in the USA, it's not required to buy it or to use it in person. It's needed to use it online though, and there's directions in the package to register if you wish to use it that way. It's a payment industry standard called AVS that makes this necessary. It's not the retailer or the gift card company requiring this, it's part of the payment card industry standards that all card issuers and processors follow. As for the terms, you can view the terms of all the major Visa cards online if you want to read before buying. The website should be on the back of the package. I work at a large home improvement store that sells them, and have used my phone to look up the terms for customers who asked about the fees. Another option: Use a site that trades non-Visa gift cards for bitcoin and donate the bitcoin. These sites accept major store cards like Amazon and Walmart gift cards and pay bitcoin to a wallet you pick. You can just put our wallet as the recipient and we'll get the value of the gift card (minus fees) as a donation. Google found paxful.com as an example, but I've never personally used them so can't recommend that site specifically. The only donation I've ever had to fully refuse was Rupay (debit card system used almost exclusively in India). Finding an online service that takes Rupay is difficult, and the donor's local merchants didn't sell gift cards.

If you don't have a Ricky account, you'll be sent an invite to sign up again (since there's nothing to transfer). You can pick the same username and password as before if you wish. If you do have a Ricky account, it will just be moved to Tommy as-is. It will keep the username/domain/password you picked when you created it on Ricky. You can change the domain and password easily, but to change the username, you would need to delete your account and sign up again.

I just released them all.

@Krydos He still needs a dedicated IP address.

1. The domains specified have been cleaned up and parked. (This a big pain to do now...apparently the newest WHM now checks the name servers like the user side does...I had to turn off the name server check entirely, park these, then turn it back on. In the old versions I can just park them without it caring.) 2. Krydos has to do that. I'm missing mine as well... 3. Space increased to 2GB and expiration pushed out by a few months.

Manually sent. It was sent to got******@***.com, which is the address on file. The email should arrive from a gmail account.

I don't have access to the bitcoin wallet, but not because it's lost. It's because that one wallet is managed as part of Bitpay, which does the BTC->USD conversion for us. Krydos is the one who has access to that service. I have access to all other wallets listed. When other currencies are sold, the resulting bitcoin gets sent into the same BTC wallet shown there. Also, it's not on the Tommy page because we didn't really plan on offering incentives for crypto donations. Many currencies by design don't have a way to track who sent the money (the most you get is a transaction ID showing money was sent to us), so it poses issues with things like tracking which users already have accounts, which are recurring payments for specific accounts, etc.

I can't check at the moment, but if I had to guess, you made the mistake of using wordpress. It's notorious for being bloated and terribly coded, and is a leading cause of high load suspension here at Heliohost. As always, we recommend not using Wordpress for this and many other reasons. Please fix the issue quickly. Unsuspended.

[Solved] i need serious help sir

I've banned you 4 times in the last several months, all for running fake freight or trade company websites. You're no longer welcome here. -
PHP errors with "Tommy" scripts on Ricky
wolstech replied to allu62's topic in Website Management and Coding
Did you edit the scripts to make sure the database name, username, and password are correct? Odds are the database name and username have changed, especially if you didn't reuse your old account's username. The connect functions for mysql return false when they fail, which would result in you trying to perform queries on false instead of on a connection handle. -
You're suspended for sending too many emails. The limit is 50 per day. Please disable whatever is sending your mail. If you get suspended for a third time for this, you might not get unsuspended. Unsuspended.

We deleted all the tommy accounts as sohamb03 said. We can’t unsuspend it because it no longer exists. The server rebuild is almost finished, so I’d expect you’ll be able to recreate your account in the next week or so.

I can also use your domain name if you wish to provide that instead.

May I have a private discussion with Heliohost?
wolstech replied to davidgra's topic in Other Discussion
He PM'd me to tout a Ponzi scheme...mods are welcome to have the last laugh in the mod section. I'll be posting the PM shortly for some light entertainment. I'm the last person this sort of thing should be sent to...one of my main specialties here is Abuse Prevention of all things. -
@Byron: That happened to me a few times as well. Killdns sometimes fails to remove it from one of the servers (usually Johnny) even with repeated attempts. Krydos has done something to manually remove these in the past.
-
That's usually what happens when an account fails to create. What did you use for the username and domain?
-
It was load again, please fix the issue quickly. Unsuspended.
-
Looking at the account in question, it appears it got hacked. The hackers uploaded phishing content to your account, leading to your phishing ban. For security reasons we can't give you the he data back, but we can offer a replacement account if you wish. Please let us know if you would like an invite for a replacement.
-
The only backup I have is panthers, not panther2 (there's no such account panther2). That has a yahoo.old address in the backup system, so I'll need to manually email it if that's what you need. Did you create a panther2 account at some point and attempt to request it be moved? If so, what server was it on, and where was it being moved to?
-
Whatever program you're running, it's too heavy to run on Ricky at the moment (the high load from the server being overfilled means it's far easier than it used to be to get suspended). Please fix or remove it ASAP. Unsuspended.

[Solved] Request backup link from Tommy is never received
wolstech replied to rk4's topic in Customer Service
Sent manually. -
It stops responding every few hours due to severe overloading. My sites are up and down all the time too. I get emails every time the database server fails. Three outages today so far, ranging from <1 minute to ~5 minutes each.
-
The main domain script will work to set a heliohost.org subdomain. That's provided it works at all (it has a high failure rate, usually due to server load, and until recently, it also didn't work for anybody on Johnny due to an API issue).

[Solved] Request: move account from johnny to ricky (donated)
wolstech replied to flexo's topic in Escalated Requests
Done. It may take up to 2 hours to start working. If you see a 404 error or queued page, please clear your cache and flush your DNS resolver.
